Presbytery of Bath. —Presbytery met at Ham mondsport, on the 10th inst., and was opened by a sermon from the last Moderator, Rev. S. A. Rawson, of Jasper, from Eph. iii. 15. Rev. Jeremiah 'Wood ruff, of Cohocton, was chosen Moderator. In the evening of the second day, as by previous appoint ment, Rev. M. B. Gelston, of Naples, preached a dis course upon Home Missions. In the afternoon the Sabbath-school scholars in the village assembled in the sesßion-room of the Presbyterian Church, and were addressed in ten-minnte speeches by Revs. Grogory, of Prattsburg; Woodruff, of Cohocton; Pattengill, of Hornellsville; Rasow, of Jasper; and Groves, of Howard. The hour was well spent, and added interest to the Sessions of Presbytery. The answer to the formula of doctrines submitted to Pre bytery by the Assembly was in the affirmative. The Sessions were harmonious and profitable. A Good Commencement. —The First Presbyte rian Church of Chicago has received from a member of its congregation the handsome gift of $l,OOO, as a commencement of a Pastor’s Library, for the use of the ohuroh. The giver is S. Saxton, Esq. It is pro posed to finish oat the towers of the church next sea son. The church is now very prosperous with its new pastor, Rev. Z. M. Humphrey.— Herald. Ordination. —The Presbytery of Rochester at the close of its last session, January 4, ordained Mr. R. C. Burdick, a licentiate of that Presbytery, to the work of the gospel ministry. The services were con ducted in accordance with the roles of the church. The Moderator, Rev. R. S. Crampton, presided, and put the usual questions to the candidate, Rev. G. Freeman pronounced the invocation, and read from the Scriptures. Prayer was offered by Rev. S. Starr, and the ordination sermon was preached by Rev. N. Hurd; ordaining prayer by Rev. Dr. Shaw; charge by Rev. 0. Furman; benediction by the candidate. Mr. Burdick is now stationed at Corfu, Genesee county. Rev. Wo. A. Rod, R. R., has been elected Rec tor of Trinity. Church, Princeton, N. J., which inci dent has called forth a sermon entitled “Prelacy Unseriptural,” by the Rev. James M. Macdonald, D. D., pastor of tber First Presbyterian Church of Princeton. Doubtless tbe new Episcopal Bishop of that State made as much of the installing occasion as propriety asked for. Detroit. —The first anniversary of the Young Men’B Christian Union of Detroit, was held recently in that city, the exercises being opened by tbe Rev. Dr. Duffield, formerly of this city. An abstract of the annual report was read by the President of the Union, George S. Frost, Esq., and" several addresses were made by ministers and others. From the re port as read by the President, and published in the Detroit -FVee Bwj of the 24th inst., we learn that' none who desire to do so are excluded from uniting with this association, the only qualification for mem bership being, the recognition of their platform, which, as incorporated in the report, is commendable for its liberal and catholic spirit. Their meetings, which were at first held in a Baptist, are now held regularly in the Congregational Church on Fort street. Connected with this association, a Sunday- School Teacher’s Union has been brganized, em bracing all that are engaged in that.jmportant work throughout the city. One evening in eaeh' month is specially devoted to the interests of tbo latter body. Tract distribution appears to have been a prominent feature in the year’s operations. The number of pages thus distributed during the year, at the cost of 5175, amounted to 188,893. ' has also been organized—which is presided over by a mem ber of the Union—among tho inmates of the United States Marine Hospital. At the request of the latter 1 a weekly prayer-meeting has also been commenced for their special benefit. The missionary labors in the county jail, as given in the report, are worthy the emulation of similar societies. The sheriff and keeper have borne testimony to the salutary .effects of the Scripture reading and teaching upon tho pri soners, who are said to evince, in many cases, a marked and very desirable change in their conduct. CLUBS. The Orphan Asylum has also been made a field of Sunday-school labors. Catholicism la Philadelphia and Vicinity.— There are now twenty-eight Catholic churcheß within our city limits. The space which included the parish of St. John's Church fifteen years ago is now occu pied by no less than nine different Roman churches. Within the present year one or two more are expected to be added to the number. At Norristown the cor ner-stone of St. Patrick's Church was laid during the past year; the church of the Assumption was con secrated; a new chapel was erected in Camden, N. J.; the seminary of St. Charles Borromeo is said to have prospered beyond all former years; the cathe dral of Sts. Peter and Paul has greatly progressed towards completion, and the first cross has been placed upon its summit. The present Catholic popu lation of Philadelphia is estimated at 130,000. Sansom Street Baptist Church.— The congrega gation worshipping in this edifice have, by official ac tion, decided to leave their present location, and build a house of worship in the northwest part of the city. Their present edifice,' from having long been the place of meeting of the Men's Christian Asso ciation, and of the noonday prayer meetings, which still continue to he largely attended, has become popularly known-throughout the Union. Its aban donment to seoular purposes will doubtless be a source of sincere regret to many of our citizens. The Receipts of the American Board for De cember were $28,025. The patrons of the Board have been informed that the expenees-of work, for the current financial year, to close with July, must be about $370,000; while the estimates sent .home by the mis sions, which it was very difficult to reduce, would have carried them at least $383,000. They know, also, that the year was commenced with a debt of more than $66,000, (the result of a natural growth of the missions,) so that in all, the receipts, .for the twelve months, must he $436,000, if this jubilee year is to close with a treasury relieved, and a cheering pros pect for the future. . . The whole amount of receipts for the first five months of the year, up to December 31, including offerings for the debt, was but $87,464; nearly $6,000 less than for the same period last year, and leaving a total of $348,536, as needed for the remaining portion of the year [—Mis sionary Herald for Feb. “Dr. Thompson, of Buffalo," says the Gen. Chris tian HeraM, Cincinnati, “spent last Sabbath in this city, preaching in. the Second Presbyterian Church. The desire for his coming here to live and labor, which was strong before, was greatly strengthened- by this visit. He has given no intimation yet as to what his decision will be. He left for Philadelphia yesterday morning,” * Dr. Thompson was in this city on Friday and Sa turday last, on his way to New 1 York. His decision to remove to Cincinnati will depend very much upon the prospect of improving his wife’s health by change of climate. -We learn .that prominent physicians in this city have recommended the change as needful to her recovery. Dr. Thompson’s people in Buffalo are strongly attached to their pastor, and have been ge nerous and even magnanimous in their efforts to re tain him; and he will not force himself from them unless compelled by what seems to be an imperious duty. Buffalo city and the Genesee Synod will part reluctantly with Dr. Thompson, who has ho superior in that region, still we think he will feel constrained to accept this call to Cincinnati, to the most responsi ble position in the west, which he is preeminently adapted to fill with honor to himself and usefulness to the church. The loss to Buffalo, will be the greater gaiu to Cincinnati. Presbytery of Ontario.— The Presbytery of On torio comnxenced the sessions of their annuaLmeeMng in Geneseo, on the 3d of January, at which Rev. Geo. P. Folsom, pastor of the 2d Church in Geneseo, was chosen Moderator; Rev. Joseph R. Page, pastor of the Church in Perry, Clerk; and Rev. Nathaniel El mer, pastor elect of the Church in Avon, Assistant Clerk. The usual Committees were appointed; and in the evening, Rev. J. R. Page, the last Moderator, preached the opening sermon from T John iii. 2. Rev. T. M. Hodgeman, of the Presbytery of Gene see, and Rev. A. M, Stowe, of the Presbytery of Ge neva, were invited to a seat as Corresponding, mem bers; and the latter addressed the Presbytery in be half of the Church Extension Committee, of which he is District Secretary. Union Corners was chosen as the place of the next stated meeting. The Presbytery spent half an hour in devotional exercises at the opening of the'morning sessions— devoted. Wednesday afternoon to the exercises of a religious conference—and in the; evening celebrated the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper, at which Rev. E. G. Moore, of .Geneseo Ist Church, preached the sermon; Rev. L. Conklin, pastor of the Congregational Church in East Bloomfield, broke the bread, Rev. Nathaniel Elmer administered the cup, and Elders Hall, Ames, Gray and Bergen, administered the ele ments. ' Rev. Levi Parsons, Jr., pastor of the Ist Church in Mount Morris, and Elder L. J. Ames, were chosen Commissioners to tho next General Assembly; and Rev. Luther Conklin, alternate to Mr. Parsons, and Elder Charles Colt, alternate to Mr. Ames. Rev. Geo. P. Folsom was appointed Commissioner to the Theological Seminary at Auburn. Rev. Nathaniel Elmer, was appointed to .preach the sermon at the next stated meeting; and Rev. Luther Conklin, his alternate. The following narrative on the state of religion, was reported and adopted: From the Statistical reports, as fair as received, and from the conversation on the state of religion within the bounds of the Presbytery of Ontario, it appears that there has been no general revival of religion during the past year. One Church (Geneseo Ist) re ports teu or twelve professed 'conversions. In other . Churches there have been a few. The Congregations, for the most part, have been rather increasing. The Sabbath Schools have generally been as full as in former years. In the Prayer Meetings and Concerts, an average attendance. General peace and harmony have characterized our Churches, and about the same degree Of liberality in contributions for benevolent objects. One Church edifice (Perry) has been re paired and adorned. In another, (Geneseo 2d) a debt Of $2,500 has been provided for—and that in circum stances of peculiar trial. This Church has been rent asunder. A large number have withdrawn; and yet a united, enterprising, and courageous Church remain in full sympathy with our branch of the Church. Wo can but bid them God-speed in their work. They have, during the past year, settled a Pastor—a man ‘of God—in whom they are united. We can but re joice that they come out of their peculiar triajs with so fair prospects. One pastor has been dismissed, (Rev. Mr. Kellogg, of Lima.) We rejoice to learn that preliminary steps have been taken to call a successor. One of our smallest Churches (South Bristol) has secured the ministrations of a man, to break to them the bread of Life. Another, (Union Corners) has had preaching only a part of the year. However discouraging may be the fact that there has’ been no general work of grace among ns, we are not to overlook the fact that to hold our own is great gain. With the constant depletion of our Churches by removals and by death, and taking into account downward tendencies of human nature, it is encouraging that we have not gone backward. But while we may well humble our selves in view of the meagre results of the year, it does become us most fervently to pray and most ear nestly to labor, that, in the year to come, we do the will of our Heavenly Father in bearing much fruit. The Presbyterian Congregation in Lima, N. Y., have invited Mr. A. L. Benton, a recent graduate of the Seminary at Auburn, and a licentiate of Cayuga flwtmxii fmfrgtman attdi stwm Presbytery, to become their Pastor. Mr. Benton commenced his labors in the Congregation on the last Sabbath, (15th) with hopeful prosperity. Missionary Anniversary. —The fifteenth anni versary of the Scudder Foreign Missionary Society of the Carmine street Presbyterian Church, N. Y. city, took place, Sabbath: evening at, the church in Carmine street. After an opening prayer by Rev. Mr. Hastings, the pastor, and siuging, the annual re portwas read. In the statement of the Treasurer, it •was announced that during the past year the Society had contributed $262.96 to the Foreign Missionary Fund. Rev. Dr. Perkins, the first missionary sent out by the American Board of Foreign Missions to the Nestorians, made the principal address of the evening. He presented a grnpbiepicture of his early labors, twenty-five years ago, among the descendants of the early fire worshippers. The changes that have been effected by the religious teachings of himself and other missionaries were forcibly and eloquently portrayed. The Press had found its way among the people, and religious papers and tracts, prepared by missionaries, were now scattered broadcast. In con clusion he urged that but atithe had been done of that which should be accomplished. A collection and benediction terminated the exercises. Sabbath School Missionary Association.— The Sabbath School Missionary Association of the Four teenth street Presbyterian Church, N. Y. city, com prising the Sabbath of that Church, and the two mis sion schools connected with it, celebrated its fourth anniversary Sabbath evening. During the past year the receipts of the Association have,been $685.34, most of which has been already tepeiMed. The Mar nagers’ Report stated that, in addition to supporting a missionary in Nebraska, Rev. C. O. Goss, the As sociation had contributed $lOO to the Fourth Ward Mission and disbursed twenty-nine $lO libraries. Rev. Mr. Goss, in an exceedingly interesting address, related his experience as a missionary in Nebraska during six months of the last year, from May to Oc tober inclusive. He was followed by Rev. Asa D. Smith, the pastor of the church, who made a few re marks to the children upon the necessity-of sustain ing a good character. , The children sung several hymns—some of them original—under the direction of Mr. Lucius Hart. Brooklyn City Bible Society. — l The nineteenth an niversary of the Brooklyn City Bible Society was ce lebrated Sabbath evening in Plymouth Church, when addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Ells, Rev. C. D. Fqss and Rev. Ruftfs W. Clark. By the annual re port it appears that the Society during the last year has distributed 1,672 Bibles, and 1,714 tracts. The receipts for the year were $2,748, and the new year is commenced with $73 on hand, besides the collec tion taken up at the meeting. The Religious Movement in Ireland.— A Cor respondent of the ‘ Colonial-Presbyterian,’ writing from Rathfriland, County Down, Ireland, gives a.va luable account of the progress and results of the re ligious movement thus far. We take some ex tracts on particular points:^ Temperance. —ln a population of about twenty five hundred, we had upwards of thirty shops for the sale of spirits. Of these, one has ceased, two others are about to cease, and there are no new applica tions; of the remainder, an allowance must be made - for the Roman Catholic population, whose drinking habits are not, of course, sensibly affected by the Re vival. On fairs and markets a decided temperance change was observed by every one. One evening I watched the country people returning from market: where previously there would have been many ine briates, I saw only one, and on inquiry, found he was not ‘one of us.’ A certain individual, notori ously fond of drink, has never once bean observed under its influence since the movement commenced,. Another, given over to the habit constantly and reck lessly, is living soberly and consistently. Besides these glaring coses there is a general feeling in fa vour of fcemperanee;-«nd--»-publio tone produced that will not soon decline. Private Comfort.— Several families have told me with glowing countenances, of the joy brought by the movement into the domestic cirele, families, rioh and poor alike. One said, “O, sir, there is glory in our house now; two sisters and two brothers,” — meaning this number in one home had been brought to Christ. Parents have told, with moist eyes, what change had come over their children, and wives of husbands, sisters and brothers, have told the same. Nothing sweeter in the whole movement can be re called by me, than these expressions of domestic glad ness, mixed with praises to Him who accomplished it. Attendance on Religious Services.— Many per sons are now observed at Church or prayer-meetings who, formerly, were never seen there; and others, who were absent as the rule, and present as the ex ception, are now our most regular attendants. The Churches are crowded, some of them about to enlarge their accommodation. At the Autumn Communions there was a great increase of members, some of them interesting cases, rescued from abandonment. The district prayer-meetings are also well attended, and, on the whole, this element of the Revival keeps np undiminished and unimpaired. At these services the demeanor is much more devout than formerly, During the taking of a>coHection, or any similar pause in the services, persons were, generally ob served covering their faces, and silentiy lifting up .their hearts to God. Reading. —An immense stimulus has been given to reading. The circulation of the Scriptures during the summer was ten-fold more than usual; the daily reading of the Scriptures is proportionably aug mented. In connexion with this, may be mentioned the practice of family worship, which is ■ revived in the proportion of as many families more as formerly observed it. Novels and light reading suffered an almost entire suspension or extinction. , One concert said, “0, sir, do warn tho people not to read novels, and journals, and newspapers, but to read their Bi bles.” Tracts and short- books of a practical nature, such ns Newman Hall’s'* Come to Jesus/ and James' -‘Anxious Inquirer,’ were in exceeding great demand. Recently I procured a. Colporteur (himself a convert)' and sent him out with a parcel of tracts. He soon returned for more. More was given him.ln an in credibly short time, he disposed of these at pub lisher’s prices. Finally he was able to support him self by the sale of an exclusively religious literature. This, itself, is one of the most gratifying facts and blessed results of the movement. i, a g e . neral survey, now that the first months of its intensity are over, the Revival here abides the test of time and bears the closest scrutiny.. On a recent day appointed for Thanksgiving to Almighty God; on this "behalf, there was -manifest a spirit of religious' earnestness never before witnessed- since the first fervours at the plantation of Ulster. Churches filled with attentive worshippers, re-aet upon the mi nistry, and make it sweeter to . preach. Sabbath Schools, crowded with children, make teaching de lightful. The ignorant are seeking . instruction—no need now to bribe them by any gifts, and so the spare hours of the Sabbath are filled npwith district classes and prayer-meetings. Afresh life and warmth are infused into all the social arteries, and now that the first excitement has subsided, the pulse is throb bing strong and healthy. Much yet remains to be done. Hundreds are yet out of Christ, living in sin. The River of Life flowing through the land, is fringed with verdure, but away and beyond it the desert still lies barren and waste. The London Religions Tract Society.— This Institution was established in >1799. It is a general Society, conducted by members of the Established Church, in connexion with Dissenters. Its publica tions, in almost every form, number more than six thousand.- It merely produces these works, and sells them. The ’work of distribution is left to individuals and lo cal agencies under local control. We subjoin the following statistics: j Annual circulation from the London Depository copies, . . . 37,174,843 Total annual circulation, including the issues of foreign Societies, about . . . 40,000,000 Total circulation, in sixty years, about . . . . . 819,000,000 Languages and dialects in which the Society has published, .. .. 114 New publications the past year, . 292 Number of publications on the Cata logue, . . . . . 6,350 Number of Libraries granted since : 1832, exclusive of those sent to foreign lands, . . . : 12,625 Eeceipts frop sales in 1858, . ; • $368,919 ■“ • “ donations and lega- There are 310 churches iif Philadelphia, of which 19 are for colored people. The Episcopalians have the largest number, 51; the Methodists next 41; there is no Orthodox Congregational Cjhurch, and but one Unitarian; the various kinds of Presbyterians have 67 churches. Hungary.— The Brotesfanto ls of -(Hungary form more than one-fourth of the inhabitant ofHungary.- In that kingdom there are two million one hundred and ninety-six thousand eight hundred and sixteen Protestants; two-thirds of whom belong to the Re formed Church, and the other third tofhe Lutheran. Promises of an extension of religious liberty have been given by the emperor, and hojjb is cherished that this time they will be fulfilled, j The Right Way— A writer in the* Texas Baptist states that Morgan L. Smith, of.Brazbria county, has built a church-house for his blacks, (that would cost nearly three thousand dollars, with this sign over the front door—“ The African Baptist Cbnrch.” He col lects his servants in this house each Sabbath morn ing, reads and expounds the Scriptiifes, joins with them in prayer, and calls on'the pioudof them to join with him. His wife also teaches thekjjuldren the car techism prepared for their benefit, p Sews ml tfcf A cargo of two hundred and thirty-seven tuns of human bones latelyarrived in 'England, from Sebas topol, which are to be converted into (manure! The British soldier may be cheered to mink that it is, sweet to die tor his country, but one wkuld think that be vp.uld not be much comforted' thought that his flesh may be given to the vultures, and his bones brought back to an English dcpghilL Some of them, no doubt, however, both leive,-and in the shape of bones, come back to their country for their country’s good. We should think that such Chris tian nations as England, France, and! Russia, might by treaty solemnly spare the bones ofjtheir soldiers. The Joint Committee of the Yirgijiia Legislature on the Harper’s Ferry affair have ijiade a volumi nous report, which closes with resolutions urging the arming and equipping of the militia, and the passage of laws encouraging domestic manufactures, and for the more prompt punishment of persons attempting to incite slaves to insurreSetion, and vin dicating the course of Gov. Wise throughout the Harper’s Ferry affair. Five thousand copies were ordered to be printed. Gov. Stewart has refused to sign the bill provided for the expulsion of free negroes fromjMiqsouri. He has acted like a man of humanity and a good magis trate. We hope he will be kept In His place. About six hundred persons are oong|mtly employed in the great publishing the Harpers, in New York. Many of them have been with the. firm a long time. There.are now employed on these premises eleven men whdse aggregate term of ser vice is 308 years; eleven more, 220 j and still ano ther eleven, 174. These facto all tell, a pleasing story. Rev. Frederick D. Huntington, D. D., has resigned his office as Preacher to the University, and- Plum mer Professor of Christian Morals at Harvard. This course of Professor Huntington will doubtless tend to allay, in a great degree, the unfortunate state of feeling existing among the students at Cambridge in regard to the religious exereises and; services, of the College. . ! Cornelius Conway Felton, the present learned Greek Professor, has been elected, by a unanimous vote, President of Harvard College, in place of Rev, James Walker, resigned. \ : ' \ The sons of Vermont in the city of (Boston and vi cinity will hold their festival at the[Revere House, on the_3d of February next. This ,i| the one Hun dred and ttoriy-six tfe anniversary foundation of the State. Rev. Dr. Huntington’s avowal of His belief in the cardinal doctrine of the Trinity has aroused the Uni tarian body to a defence of its positions. Rev. Dr, Lamson is about to publish a work with the title— “ The Fathers of the Primitive Church Opposed to the Trinity.” And Rev. T. Starr Ring, a popular Unitarian minister in Boston, is preaching a series of discourses on the Trinity, in direct reply to the arguments of Prof. Huntington’s book. Mr. King asserts very positively that prior to the year 300, no theologian or preacher uttered a statement of the Trinity which would now be considered Orthodox. A despatch from Cincinnati announces the death of Prof. James P. Espy,'of the National Observatory at Washington, of paralysis. i Rev. Dr. Hawes, of Hartford, Conn., recently preached a strong sermon against the use of tobacco. He exhibited facts and statistics shdwing its destruc tion of health and sanity, its demoralising influence, and its useless expense. v It costs, the people of the United States over forty million diifiars annually far more than is spent for all the purposes of educa tion.' New York'city uses tip daily ten thousand dollars in cigars, and eight thousand five hundred in bread. He predicted that the valley of the Conneeti out would be blasted by it, and becotne as barren as the old tobacco fields of Virginia and' Maryland. ; The Presbyterian Almanac, for 1860, places the total number of ministers, in that denomination,' at ten thousand five hundred and fifty-five; its commu nicants at one million two hundred and fifty-five thousand six hundred and eighty-eight. . Of the mi nisters, six thousand six hundred,and sixty-four are residents in the United i States, four hundred and se venty-five in the British . Provinces, and three thou sand four hundred and fourteen in Great Britain. A correspondence between MissJS.B; Redmond, of Salem, a coloured woman, and Mr. Dallas, the Ame rican Minister at London, attracts considerable at tention in England. She had a passport; which Mr. Dallas refused to vise. She scolded him by litter, and he replied that a coloured person-had no right ,to p passport from the -United Bfcites Government. She replied that she hajj a passpdSt, and itwas his duty to take that foot as prima facie evidence of her right to it, and not undertake to set up odious dis tinctions between Americans abroad. The English all think her right, and the smarlest of the two. Rosa Bonheur is about to visit the United States professionally. An opulent French gentleman, an enthusiast in art, some time since, commissioned her to cross the Atlantic, proceed to ‘the great prairies of the far West, and paint, from life, a herd of wild buffaloes. She was to take her own time, accom plish it in her own way, and fix her own price. At first she declined to entertain the proposition, hut finally, after turning it over in her mind, and reflect ing what an original and splendid .work Bhe could make, she has accepted 'the offer, and comes over in the spring to make the picture. < A system of espionage has been set on foot by Borne persons for the benefit of certain parties, and with the design of damaging others. It is this: Re ports are sent to different’ places in the South, repre senting some houses as friends to -theinterests of the South, while others are opposed. The whole system is outrageously mean, and uridefe it no one is. safe, because one who has taken-no part whatever in poli tical movements, may be made to suffer as Well as the most violent partisans, ifrit Wilfabswer the pur poses of those wishing to injure him. - However, such means can he successful for only a short time.

The American treaty had been put in force in China. Paris despatches say that it is becoming every day more doubtful whether the European Congress will be held. The Opinimie Na tionals, which is supposed to speak by authority, be lieves that if Italy is decided for the annexation of the north and centre of the peninsula, England and Prance would eagerly acquiesce. The Journal adds that,this combination is actually entertained by the governments at London and Paris. The Prussian ministerial organ, though still of opinion that the restoration of the Grand Dukes would have been the most desirable solution of the Italian question, gives up the project as impossible, and thinks that the an nexation to Sardinia is by far the next best thing. The funeral of the late Lord Macaulay took place in Westminster Abbey, on the 9th inst. The London News says that there is no reason for complaint of the manner in which President Buchanan deals with the general relations between England and the United States, in his annual message. The demonstration at Dublin, in favor of the Pope, was presided over by Doctor Cullen. It is described as having proven a failure. The Times’city article says President Bu chanan’s recommendation of a military expedition against Mexico exercised no influence on Mexican stock. The Manchester Guardian disapproves of the manner in which the President treated the San juan dispute. Lord Cowley had returned to Paris. He is,reported to have said that Count Walewski’s re tirement materially facilitates the friendly relations between the Cabinets of England,and Prance. At Paris, the appointment of Marshal M'Mahon as com manderof, the ayny of Italy, was as war like. The latest rumors say that Oanrohert’s mission to Borne is to offer propositions to the Papal govern ment, which, if rejected, would be followed by the evacuation of the French troops. The Spaniards had gained new victories at Morocco. The Austrian go vernment declines negotiation on any basis except the Yillafranca agreement or Zurich treaty. .The present aspect of'the Italian question causes much rejoicing at Venice and Milan. About 1 o’clock on Saturday morning, a fire broke out in the building No. 48 Ann Street, New York city, which caused a serious destruction of newspaper property. Among the were the proprietors of the- ledger, of the Mercury, the Allas, and of the old Spirit of the Times. Messrs. Wynkoop, Hallen beek and Thomas, who print the editions of some of these weeklies, beside those of several monthly pub lications, also sustain quite a loss. The exact origin of the fire could not be ascertained, but the destruc tiveness was due principally to the unfortunate dis tance of the most powerful of the engines from the locality where it occurred. The entire amount of property destroyed, is estimated at §175,000. . ANew akd Valuable Religious Work. —We desire to call especial attention to the advertisement in to-day’s paper, of ah entirely new work, which will, we think, prove an invaluable one—“ The American Christian Record.” Every Clergyman and church member should have a copy of it; and to all persons desiring information in regard to denominational tenets or reli gious history, this is recommended as condensing into one small volume what whole libraries would have to be searched for without it, and much which cannot be found in any library.

Obser ver says that-we doubt very much if any persons, young or old, ever waited in better humor to take a lecture than did the good people of Hartford one eve ning last week, when 'the ears, in which Rev. Dr. Seudder was making his way to that city to deliver the concluding lecture in his course, were detained by the snow storm. A friend has shown us a private letter, giving an account of the matter,;,which is too good to be lost, and we have accordingly claimed per mission to make an extract. “After tea, (on Weduesday evening,) we went to Touro Hall tohear Dr. Seudderis concluding lecture. No Dr. Scudder came, but a telegraphic despatch, saying the cars would he detained until nine o’clock. A chairman: and secretary were then appointed, and the question was debated, whether the audience should remain until Dr. S. arrived. One gentleman said it was preposterous to wait until nine o’clock for a lecture; blit he was most effectually answered by another who said he had often been lectured after nine o’clock, though in more comfortable quarters. Some gentle fingers, it is reported, gave him, a pinch upon the arm as an offset to his insinuation. When the question was taken, it was decided in the affirmative by a unanimous and'emphatic Yea. The assembly then proceeded to entertain themselves, and a very amusing time we had of it Mr. - - -was called upon for'a song, and “We won’t go home till morn ing” was struck up and responded to with great glee. Itwas suggested that the President’s Message should be read, but that was quickly voted down. Various subjects, not of the highest importance; were then discussed, andnumerous speeches made. Finally, at nine o’clock, Dr. Scudder appeared and was re ceived with cheers, when the chairman and secretary made a rapid-flight from the platform, and the Doctor proceeded.- We came home at eleven o’clock, having been intensely interested in the lecture,.and abun dantly repaid for waiting.” Newspaper Quarrels.— No religious journalist has a moral right to ignore the discussion of any question involving the advancement of truth, and the elevation of man. But there is so wide a difference between courteous, manlydiseussion, and the ordinary rim of'newspaper quarrels, that we quote from Dr. -Holland’s “ Gold Foil,” the following pungent re Juke of one.of the most injurious vices of the press:, . The religious newspapers of the day are full of quarrels about words—quarrels instituted in the name of the Prince of Peace, and carried on for the benefit of the Prince of Darkness—quarrels pver non essential matters of opinion—quarrels growing oiit of rivalries of seets—quarrels fed by the fires of human passion—quarrels maintained by the pride of opinion, and by the ambition of intellectual mastery—quarrels whose only tendency is to disgust the world with the religion in whose behalf they are .professedly insti tuted, and to fret, and wound, and divide the follow ers of Jesus Christ. Yet these same religious papers will: deplore the personal collision of two drunken Congressmen in the streets of Washington, as a sad commentary on the degeneracy of the age, and mo ralize solemnly over a dog-fight. They can lash each other with little mercy—they can call eaeh other name's, abuse each other’s motives, misconstrue each other’s language, criminate and recriminate, but faint away with seeing T a cart-horse .aVer-whipped, or a race-horse overtasked. They have daily to do with. the devil, and.pretend to be frightened at a mouse. Noah’s Ark and the Great Eastern— The fol lowing is; a comparison between the size of the Great Eastern and Noah’s Ark. Noah’s Ark according to Newton; length between perpendicular, 612 feet; ex treme-breadth, 85 feet; height, 51 feet; tonnage, 18,231. Great Eastern, length between perpendicu lar, 680 feet; extreme breadth, 85 feet; height, 60 feet; tonnage, 23,092. In Tenehris.—The Springfield BepiMican says: “Dr. Edward Beecher’s new book, ‘The Concord of Ages,’ disappoints the venerable editor of the Boston Trumpet. He expected to find in it reconciliation of the ways of God to man after his own system, but he confesses that he cannot understand the book, though he supposes Mr. Beecher to have had ‘some faint idea of what it means.’ We suspect the difficulty of comprehension is general, for the theological critics fight very shy of the book.” Business Failures in the United States. —Some idea may he had of the uncertainties and immense losses to which business men are liable, from the fol lowing which we take from the annual Circular of Dun, Boyd & Co., Mercantile Agents, New York; The number of failures in the United States, the past year, was 3913, involving liabilities of $64,294,- 000. This is a decrease in the number of failures since 1858 of 312, and in liabilities of $31,455,662. Of the failures last year, 123, with liabilities of $4,- 759,000, occurred in Boston, and 160, with debts to the extent of $1,927,000, in the rest of Massachusetts; 61, with liabilities of sl,ls9,ooo;occurred in Maine; 25, with liabilities of $307,000, in New Hampshire; 36, with liabilities of $536,000, in Vermont; 20, with liabilities of $246,000, in Providence, and 10, with debts amounting to. $359,000, in the rest of Rhode Island. The number in New York city, was 299, with liabilities of $13,218,000. Of the whole number of failures last year, 401 are classed as swindling and absconding debtors, with obligations amounting to $5,650,000; as not dishonest, but will pay little or nothing, 675, with debts to the extent of $7,932,000. The. number likely to pay in full, is 130, whose in debtedness amounts to $6,242,000. The South, on the African Sla7e Trade s —Thi Oemral Presbyterian of Richmond, Virginia, noticing Dr. John Leighton Wilson’s able article agairmt the re-opening of the African slave trade, says: “We can hardly conceive of any fair mind reading the facts and arguments of this essay, without reaching the same conclusion with the author, that the re-opening of this trade would be an atrocity of the most heinous kind, and we are glad that the public opinion of the South is so generally and so strongly against it.” The same paper, in another article, says:—-“The view of the South, so far as its utterance has been beard, is over whelmingly opposed to the re-opening, of that trade.” John Sherman for Breakfast. —The Washington correspondent of the Boston Atlas and' Bee, in speak ing of the ballotings for Speaker, says: “I was much amused with the story of one of the Western mem bers, who is, by the way, one of the clearest-headed and largest hearted men here. Said he, “I declare to you, I have got so used to shouting out 'John Sherman’ when l am spoken to, that when the waiter asked me, this morning at the table, what I would have for breakfast, I told him ‘John Sherman!’" One of the Two. —Captain W. tells an amusing occurrence witnessed by him last week on board the ‘Ocean,’ on her passage down. An oldish and some what purblind gentleman, passing up and down the upper saloon, stopped in front of a full length mir ror, and after gazing at the figure presented for a moment or two, inquired in a very deliberate tone— “ls- your—name Brown?” No answer. Question again repeated, still louder,—“ls —your —name— Brown?” Question again repeated, still louder yet, «wi; yoar . — natne —Brown?” Still no answer. ‘Well,” said the gentleman, “ you are either no gen tleman, or very deaf.” The saloon was in a roar.— Providence Journal. Religious Consistency.—Rev. Thomas Whittmore tells a. story of his having attended church to hear an eminent divine; and the subject of the morning discourse was, “Ye are children of the Devil.” He attended the same church in the Afternoon, when the text was, “ Children, obey your parents.” ' - *** Well Suited.-f-A gentleman asked his friend, the other day, “How do you like our new minister?” He replied, “ First rate—he never meddles with po litics or religion." A Child and a Long Sermon.—A mother says:— - “The first time I took my oldest boy to church, when he was two and a half years old, I managed— with caresses, and frowns, and candy, to keep him very still till the sermon was half done.' By this tune his patience was exhausted, and he climbed to his feet, and stood on the seat looking sPthe preacher (his father) _quite_ intently. Then, as if he had hit upon a certain relief for his troubles, be pulled me by the chin to attract my attention, and exclaimed, in a distinct voice, “ Mamma, make papa say Amen.” The Old Man’s Secret . —An aged clergyman, who bad known not one day’s illness, was asked his secret. “Dry feet and early rising,” was his reply. “ These are my only two precautions.” —The Habits of Good Society. A Graceful Rebuke.— The Boston Transcript says:—“The sewing circle connected with one of the churches in a neighboring city, met recently, and there was the usual full attendance. Contrary to his custom, the pastor was not present, and in the eve ning was sent for. Entering the room, he looked around upon the large company, and with a good natured smile addressed his parishioners as follows: ‘I did not come out to-night, my friends, until sent for, because I did not suppose there would he any meeting. lam truly-amazed to find so goodly a number assembled, despite the storm. Last Sunday, when the weather was not quarter so bad as now, but very few of you were at church. I suppose I must attribute your presence to-night, however, to the interest you take in the approaching fair.’" Dr. Cahill on Mew York.— Rev. Dr. Cahill, on a visit from Ireland to New York, is writing letters to the Press at home, descriptive of New York City and its people. The Doctor sees everything in its most brilliant and attractive aspeet. The streets, omni buses and hqtels, all command bis unqualified appro bation. He has never seen, he says, either in Great Britain or on the Continent, such a magnificent city as New York. Labor is high—“laborers and hod men getting from $2 to $2.50 a day,”—and provisions low. It is the worst country in the world for a drunkard, who is shunned like the plague. It is very pleasant to find oar country and institutions thus warmly praised; but we fear the Doctor may be pre paring some of his friends at home, who intend to emigrate, for a hitter disappointment. Passing 1 Away.— An act was passed by Congress, July 4, 1836, by whiclrabout 5090-surviving widows of revolutionary soldiers, to whom they were married before the completion of the war, were permitted to receive pensions for their husbands’ services. There are now but 35 surviving, the two oldest of whom are each 105 years of age, the youngest 92. They have lived from 76 to 84years since their marriage; eight are living in the State of New York, six in Pennsylvania, and five in North Carolina, three each m Connecticut, Massachusetts and Virginia, two in Vermont, and one in each of the States of Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Kentucky and Ten nessee. NOTICES. By request of Jlie Young Men’s Chris tian Association, Dr. Henry M. fcu liler, will deliver a Course of Five Lectures on Mia, at the Musical Fund Hall, commencing Thursday "Eve ung, January 26th, to be continued on January 31st, February 2d, 10th, and 16th. Notice of ihe subjects of Lectures will be given in the daily prints. Tickets may be obtained at the Book Stores and Publication Houses, at the Rooms of the Association, Nos. ,1003 and 1011 Chestnut Street, and at the door, on the evening of the Lectures. A British officer writing from Teheran, Persia, to the ‘London Times,’ remarks:—” A Cathartic Pill manu factured by ‘an American Chemist’(Da. J. C. Aver, of Lowell, Mass.jhas cured the Shah of a Liver Complaint that threatened his life. This simple fact, as might be expected, renders the Americans immensely popular here, while we English are overlooked.—Doubtless our own scholarsmade the discoveries which he employs, and thus it is in everything; we do the labor, then the mousing Americans put their mark on it and take the reward: Doct. Aver is idolized by the Court and its retainers here,'which will doubtless be reflected to him on a gold snuff box, or diamond-hilted sword, while not the name even of Davy, Christison or Brodie—the great tights by which he shines, is known. ” New York Paper.

The above is given more to convey an idea of the general character of the work, than as an index to its voluminous contents, which will embrace everything Of interest to intelligent religious minds. We believe a general record like this, to which every one might turn for authentic information on all topics of current religious interest, has long been wanted, and would be fonnd of great convenience not only to .clergymen and otbcrehurch officers, but to all interested in the moral and religious movements of the age. It has been the sum of the publishers to supply this want, and in the AMERICAN CHRISTIAN RECORD to pre sent a work which would enable all Christians familiarly to umlerstaml one another’s faith, efforts and strength, in which each should be able to read the past and pre sent history of his particular denomination and com pare it with that of others: and in which all might perceive at a glance, first, the efforts of individual insJi tutions, and then the result of their united operations throughoutihe entire world.
